Lightened Flywheel

[topdog]

Putting a new clutch into the 180 and was thinking while im doing it to get a lightened flywheel also. Its a road car do a bit of messin in it but nothin major. What would be the advantages n disadvantages of one? Are they any good?

Pro - freer reving .

Con - less torque .

If ya get one make sure ya buy a factory made one a not an engineering job on your own as there just lathed and your balance will be all out an fuck your crank !

light weight flywheels are grand once not over lightened and not ran in a lathed as the balance might be wrong as above ^^^^^ it will run bearings on your crank as its off balance.
pros
free reving, faster take off, a lighter car
cons
stalling on take off, needs more gas going up hill due to loss of momentum, and loss of torque
your choice.. its a turbo so petrol is always going to be a problem as far as loss of torque throw in a decat will take care of that, and take offs probally will always be lively ha ha ha
